Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 559 The Responses of Various Races (Bonus Chapter 1 for Monthly Tickets)

Within the core territory of the Prison Clan.

Towering figures stood within the magnificent hall; some were rock creatures engulfed in flames, while others were robust, hairy, fleshy beings…

Although these powerful beings have different life forms, they all exude a common, endless aura of evil.

At the very front of the main hall, a sinister figure, entirely silver and black, sat high on the throne. This even more sinister figure was similar in build to a human, and had a long, sharp tail like a scorpion's tail extending outwards, almost encircling half of the main hall.

This is the Demon Ancestor, the greatest being of the Prison Clan.

In the ruthless, insane, brutal, and strictly hierarchical Prison Clan, the Demon Ancestor's position is self-evident.

However, at this moment, the extremely evil Demon Ancestor frowned deeply.

"Thousand Eyes, now that everyone is here, why don't you tell us what happened?" The Demon Ancestor looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Demon Ancestor!"

A Prison Clan Universe Lord, whose face was marked with eerie black runes and whose dozens of eyes gleamed with a faint silver light, looked at the many powerful figures in the hall and said coldly, "Everyone!"

"Just now, an envoy from the human race arrived in my Hell Clan's territory. He actually claimed that the human race's territory needs expansion and demanded that my Hell Clan hand over half of its territory to them!"

"What?"

"Lord of a Thousand Eyes, what did you say?"

"Damn human race, how dare you challenge the dignity of my Hell Clan!"

"Damn it! That human race only has a Time Lord backing them up, yet they dare to make our Hell Clan hand over half of their territory?"

Upon hearing the words of the Thousand-Eyed Lord, all the cosmic lords around him were immediately enraged.

It should be understood that the Prison Clan is a crazy race full of endless killing. Which of these universe lords who have grown to their current level did not fight their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

Yang Wu's strength is formidable, inspiring fear in countless powerful individuals.

But for these powerful winged race members, the most they could do was simply keep to themselves and the human race, so how could they tolerate provocations from the human race?

But at that moment, the Lord of a Thousand Eyes continued, "Demon Ancestor, everyone, I have just made contact with the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race, among other forces!"

"According to my information, the human race has also sent envoys to other powers, demanding that each power relinquish half of its territory!"

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes uttered these words.

"What?!"

"That's impossible!"

"What exactly is that human race trying to do, daring to provoke so many super powers at the same time? Does the Lord of Light still think we're in the cosmic ocean?"

"Thousand Eyes, is your information accurate? This is absolutely insane!"

The magnificent hall erupted in chaos. All the powerful beings were shocked and bewildered, unable to believe it. Even the Demon Ancestor, who sat high on the throne, showed a hint of shock in his eyes.

He had initially thought that the human race had chosen the Hell Clan as their target because they found them easier to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the human race went so far as to offend so many super powers at the same time.

"This news is definitely true!"

The Lord of a Thousand Eyes hurriedly said, "I heard that the human race has not only sent envoys to the major super powers, but also to forces like the Nine Domains Alliance, and perhaps even more!"

"Furthermore, the human envoy who went to the demon realm was annihilated by the enraged Dream Demon Ancestor!"

"My God, have those humans gone mad?"

"How dare they offend so many superpowers at the same time?"

"Could it be that humanity obtained some kind of supreme treasure from that ancient civilization?"

After confirming the authenticity of the news, the surrounding powerful members of the Prison Clan began to discuss it.

It is important to know that more than a thousand years ago, the human race obtained extremely precious ancient civilization heritage from the spaceship.

The fact that they dare to provoke so many superpowers at the same time is truly alarming and makes everyone extremely wary.

"Demon Ancestor, what should we do?" an ancient cosmic lord asked in a low voice.

"Of course!"

Wow!

Just then, an incredibly evil and powerful aura emanated from outside the hall, and a stream of light rushed into the hall, transforming into a figure wearing simple armor that appeared before everyone.

His arms, legs, and feet were all bare, covered in black skin. He had a skull on his head, and his forehead protruded forward like a scimitar. Two black flames, exuding an evil aura, burned in his eyes.

The invisible aura of evil spread out, even more intense than that of the Demon Ancestor on the throne.

"Prison King!" One after another, the lords of the universe greeted him respectfully.

"Prison King," the Demon Ancestor on the throne greeted him.

"Demon Ancestor!" The Prison King bowed slightly and then said, "That human race dared to provoke the might of my Prison Clan. No matter what methods they employ, they will bear the wrath of my Prison Clan!"

As the most insane and powerful member of the Prison Clan, the Prison King naturally could not tolerate the human race's provocation of the Prison Clan.

"King of Hell!" Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor immediately said, "In my opinion, this matter requires further consideration!"

"What?" the Prison King immediately retorted, "Does the Demon Ancestor really intend to sit idly by and watch that human race be so arrogant, and even cede half of my Prison Clan's territory for it?"

As the oldest cosmic ruler in the Prison Clan, the Prison King holds a very special position within the clan. Even the Demon Ancestor is his descendant, so he naturally doesn't need to care too much about the Demon Ancestor's opinion.

"King of Hell!" The Demon Ancestor's voice gradually deepened: "I was merely saying that this matter requires careful consideration!"

In fact, the Demon Ancestor was also extremely dissatisfied with the Prison King's attitude at this time.

You must understand, he is now the leader of the entire Prison Clan, how could he tolerate any dissenting voices from his subordinates?

However, now facing a threat from the human race, the Demon Ancestor couldn't dwell on those matters for the time being. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Throughout these countless ages, the human race has always been incredibly treacherous. Even my Hell Clan has suffered some losses at their hands!"

"In my opinion, since that human race dared to provoke so many superpowers in the primordial universe, they might actually possess some astonishing methods. My Prison Clan naturally cannot be at the forefront!"

"This matter still needs to be led by the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race! They already occupy the most central territory in the universe, and the Demon Race even annihilated the human race's envoys, so naturally they should be at the forefront!"

"At that time, our Prison Clan will hide behind the three demon clans and act according to the circumstances! If the human race doesn't have any amazing methods, we might still have a chance to obtain that precious ancient civilization's heritage!"

"The inheritance of an ancient civilization?" A thought suddenly struck the Prison King.

You should know that right now, besides caring about the dignity of the Prison Clan, he also wants to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe.

The ancient civilization inherited by the human race was naturally an opportunity for him.

The King of Hell even once considered seizing the ancient civilization from the human race, but he gave up because of the overwhelming power of the Lord of Time and the strongest of the Giant Axe.

Now, the fact that humanity is actively provoking various forces in the universe has become an excellent opportunity.

……

Within the Crystal Clan's territory.

In the crystal clear temple, there are crystal thrones spread out, a total of sixteen thrones, judging from the layout of the thrones, there is no distinction between high and low.

Each of the powerful members of the Crystal Clan, regardless of gender, possessed a face that could be described as perfect. Their crystal-forged bodies seemed to be the condensation of the essence of the universe, and they all had golden eyes between their brows, radiating an aura of power.

One strongest being in the universe and fifteen lords of the universe constitute all the super-strong individuals within the Crystal Clan.

"I'm sure everyone is aware of the arrival of the human race's envoys!"

The Crystal Clan's Holy Lord said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please share your thoughts. How should my Crystal Clan respond this time?"

"Holy Lord!" a stunningly handsome man spoke respectfully, "My Crystal Clan and that human race have always kept to themselves, and the Lord of Amethyst even has a considerable relationship with the Lord of Azure East of that human race. Why does that human race demand that my Crystal Clan hand over half of its territory?"

"It's not just my Crystal Clan!" another Crystal Clan universe lord said. "As far as I know, many races in the primordial universe, including the Prison Clan, have received messages from that human race, all demanding that they hand over half of their territory!"

"What does the human race want? Do they want to unify the entire primordial universe?"

"Yes, even if the Lord of Time was incredibly powerful, this is still the primordial universe. How much of his power could he actually unleash?"

"I think we still need to communicate with human communities about this!"

"The envoy has already been sent, what's the point of further communication?"

"What can we do if we don't communicate? After all, the Lord of Time is the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea. Even a Holy Lord would be in danger if he encountered him there. It's best if our Crystal Clan doesn't offend them!"

"Not offend them? Are we supposed to just hand over my Crystal Clan's territory to that human race?"

"Our territory is the foundation of our Crystal Clan, and naturally we cannot relinquish it! But other conditions are negotiable. If we can truly establish good relations with that human race, we might even be able to obtain some of the legacies of ancient civilizations from them!"

In an instant, many powerful members of the Crystal Clan expressed their opinions.

Despite their differing opinions, the powerful members of the Crystal Clan remained extremely united, and the surrounding atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Everyone's suggestions are great!"

The Crystal Clan's Holy Lord waved his hand to interrupt the crowd, then said, "Let's first see what the human race's attitude is! If we can communicate with them, we could form an alliance with them, and perhaps even inflict a great loss on the Prison Clan!"

"Lord of Amethyst, you have a close relationship with my Lord of Azure East, so you shall handle this matter!"

"Yes, Holy Lord!" True Lord Zijing replied respectfully from the side.

However, what these powerful members of the Crystal Clan did not know was that the expansion of territory was the biggest goal of the human race's actions this time. No matter how good the relationship was between the Lord of Amethyst and the Lord of Azure East, it was impossible to change the human race's plans.

……

Virtual Universe, Hongmeng City, Inner City.

In a vast hall, nearly a thousand cosmic venerables from the human race had gathered.

After the human race decided to expand its territory, they all received the news, and many of them even served as envoys to various alien territories.

"Gentlemen, the commotion our human race has caused this time is quite significant; the upcoming war will surely be brutal!"

A tall, thin man with three eyes, dressed in jet-black armor, sat to one side, holding a glass of fruit wine. He couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if our human race is adequately prepared, and whether we can simultaneously contend with so many superpowers in the universe!"

"Hmph, so what if war is a little brutal?"

Another cosmic being with eight arms sneered, "With the Time Lord here, how could we possibly lose this war?"

"You must understand, the Lord of Time has killed more than one of the strongest beings in the universe. Even if you add up all those super powers, how many of them are truly among the strongest in the universe?"

"Yes, the Time Lord's strength is truly unbelievable!"

Another man in a blue robe with mysterious green markings on his face exclaimed in equal astonishment, "I still remember the scene when the Time Lord stormed through three primordial Heavenly Mountains. I never imagined that only a few hundred thousand years later, the Time Lord would be able to kill the strongest beings in the universe!"

In fact, most of these cosmic venerables were unaware of the battle in which Yang Wu killed Shadow Demon Lord and others.

However, the higher-ups of the human race released this news specifically to boost morale.

It was this news that filled many of humanity's universe lords with hope and anticipation for the upcoming battle.

"Hahaha... I've just broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, and I've already encountered such a great battle. This is wonderful!"

A newly ascended Cosmic Venerable couldn't help but say, "This time, I must make as many contributions as possible so that I can exchange them for even more precious treasures from the human race's treasury!"

"Venerable Flowing Light, your breakthrough this time has truly come at a perfect time!"

A Cosmic Venerable with blue scales on his face spoke with a hint of bitterness: "In the past, newly promoted Cosmic Venerables in our human race could only obtain one top-tier treasure. Now, you've just broken through and have already received an ordinary supreme treasure bestowed upon you by your race. You're truly very lucky!"

"Yes, in the past, only high-level cosmic beings could obtain such treasures!" another cosmic being echoed.

"Hahaha, if you want a supreme treasure, you can learn from Venerable Divine Wind!"

A werewolf cosmic venerable chuckled, "This time, Venerable Divine Wind, acting as an envoy to the Mechanical Race's territory, received a high-grade treasure bestowed upon him by his race! Even the other envoys received at least a common treasure!"

"What's so special about that? I heard that the Azure Dragon Venerable was killed by the Dream Demon Ancestor when he went to the demon realm! But not only was the Azure Dragon Venerable immediately resurrected by reversing time, he was even bestowed with a top-tier treasure by his clan!"

"Yes, that's a top-tier treasure! Even some universe lords of average strength only use treasures of this level!"

"The Azure Dragon Venerable was one of the earliest Cosmic Venerables to follow the Lord of Time. At that time, the Eternal Guild hadn't even been established yet, so it's not surprising that he had this opportunity!"

Inside the hall, the many cosmic lords discussed excitedly, and not one of them was afraid of the impending war.

In another quiet room, only two people were sitting facing each other.

If other cosmic venerables from the human race were to appear here, they would probably immediately recognize the identities of these two: the Star Prison Demon Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable.

"Not long ago, Eclipse was here marveling at the Time Lord's cultivation speed!"

The Star Prison Demon Lord downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that so little time had passed, and Tian Shi had already stepped into the realm of the Universe Lord!"

"yes!"

The Venerable Ancestral Tree echoed, "Since the rise of the Time Lord, too many incredible things have indeed happened to our human race, especially now that we have simultaneously provoked countless forces throughout the vast universe!"

"I really want to witness the upcoming battle firsthand!"

"Me too!" The Star Prison Demon Lord nodded as well.

As the two Venerable Ancestors, being the strongest beings below the Universe Lords of the human race, their knowledge and experience were naturally incomparable to those of other Universe Venerables of the human race.

Therefore, they were well aware that they, as cosmic venerables, would have no chance to intervene in the upcoming great battle, and only after the great battle ended would they have the opportunity to deal with the remaining alien powerhouses.

"Strive to cultivate diligently!" Venerable Ancestral Tree raised his wine cup and said earnestly, "If we can break through before the great battle, we might still be able to catch up!"

……

The twelfth day after the human race sent envoys to various forces in the primordial universe.

In the territory of the demon race, there is an ordinary life-bearing planet called "Bloodfang Star". This "Bloodfang Star" was once the exclusive territory of an immortal god in the demon race, but now it has become extremely special.

On the beautiful grassland.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Powerful streams of intent swept across endless space and instantly descended upon this ordinary planet.

Among them were oval-shaped black spheres, slender figures, enormous silver-white serpents, and sinister phantoms with humanoid scorpion tails…

At a glance, there were six different figures: the Mechanical Race Father God, the Zerg Queen, the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Tremor Demon Ancestor, the Prison Race Demon Ancestor, and the Crystal Race Holy Lord...

"Zhenjiao, what exactly are you planning to do by inviting so many of us here this time?" The deep voice of the Mechanical Father God came from within the oval black sphere.

"Mechanical, calm down!" Zhen Yaozu said calmly. "Wait a little longer, I've invited other guests! I'll explain everything to you all once everyone has arrived!"

"Oh?" The Mechanical Father God let out a soft exclamation, saying, "You also invited the Northern Frontier Alliance?"

If one is the strongest being in the universe, one's thoughts can reach them at any time, so there is naturally no need to wait.

Aside from these, the only ones in the universe qualified to be invited by the Demon Ancestor are probably the three Universe Lords who oversee the affairs of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

"They're here!"

Several of the universe's strongest beings sensed the fluctuations of the teleportation and immediately turned to look in one of the directions.

Whew! Whew! Whew...

More than ten figures flew in from a distance in an instant.

"The Star Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Lord of the Black Lotus, the Lord of the Cloudy Star..."

"The Lord of Juefeng of the Nine Domains Alliance, the Lord of Chixue of the Snow Frontier Alliance... I didn't expect you to have invited them?"

"Shaking the Demon Ancestor..."

After these dozen or so universe lords appeared, they all greeted the strongest beings in the universe.

Among them, the three Star Lords of the Northern Frontier Alliance remained relatively calm, because while they had to respect these strongest beings in the universe, they also represented the Northern Frontier Alliance behind them.

However, the other Lords of Absolute Beacon, Lord of Crimson Blood, and others were quite uneasy, since their forces were not backed by the strongest in the universe and could only be considered second-rate forces.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point!"

Zhen Yaozu said coldly, "I presume the human race has already sent envoys to your various factions! The reason my demon race invited everyone here is to unite in dealing with this matter!"

In a short time.

Many powerful beings around remained silent.

"I know everyone is worried! Worried about the power of the Time Lord, worried that the human race that inherited the legacy of an ancient civilization might possess some astonishing abilities!"

Zhen Yaozu said coldly, "Actually, my demon race is also very worried!"

"Originally, my demon race was already prepared to cede a portion of our territory to that human race. After all, the power of that Time Lord was indeed terrifying, and even my demon race was unwilling to continue fighting with that human race!"

"But those human races are so greedy, demanding that my demon race hand over half of its territory!"

"You must understand that as the human race grows stronger, it is destined to occupy more territory. With more territory comes more life, more geniuses, and more powerful individuals... More powerful individuals lead to even larger territories... This cycle continues, and the power of the human race will continue to expand!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor solemnly stated, "Moreover, that human race dares to demand half of our territory now. Once they become even stronger, how will we still have a place to live in this primordial universe?"

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but nod in agreement.

It must be understood that territory is the foundation of their respective forces, and even a small loss would be extremely painful, let alone handing over half of their territory to another party.

Moreover, this is probably just the beginning!

Even the usually calm Crystal Clan Holy Lord roared inwardly, "This absolutely cannot happen!"

It should be noted that the Crystal Clan's Amethyst Lord had previously contacted the Human Clan's Azure East Lord, but the restoration he received still required the surrender of half of the territory. That is why the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord appeared here to meet with various forces.

"If we are afraid of that human race now, we will have even less chance to compete with them for territory in the future!"

Zhen Yaozu said coldly, "By then, it will be too late for regrets. Therefore, even if the human race has some backup plans, and no matter how powerful the Time Lord is, my demon race will still fight and struggle against that human race!"

"Indeed!" the Mechanical God Father agreed. "This is, after all, the primordial universe. Even if the human race has some backup plans, can they really possibly defeat so many of us?"
